What is "pop art"?
Pop art was an art movement that started in the mid-20th century, mainly in Britain and the United States. It focused on using images from daily life, like advertising, comic books, and everyday objects, as artistic subjects. Main artists in this movement include Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, and Claes Oldenburg. Pop art is known for its bright colors, bold designs, and use of elements from TV, magazines, and other media. The movement aimed to blur the boundaries between traditional art and everyday culture, making art more accessible and reflecting the growing influence of a culture focused on buying and owning things.
